First, I believe that the 6 is covered under Apple's battery replacement deal for $29.99. But, if you have an Apple store near you, I'd go in and have them diagnose the issue. If it is the battery, $30 isn't too bad of an investment if that will solve the issue.
The next best phone in my opinion, and I am likely in the vast minority here, is the iPhone SE. I got one in December to replace my almost 4 year old 5S and I love it. It is the same size, as the 5s, has a significantly better processor so updates and app downloads go faster, but it is simply way more responsive. I have a 6S for work right now and the SE out performs it.

It's getting slower and slower. I haven't inquired yet about a battery change. Seems to me after a year with a presumably new or refurbished phone that should've been in good working orde– a year isn't long to be having the kinds of lapses in performance that I am experiencing. I have no need for any of the visual entertainments that the newer phones offer, like cartoon images floating across the screen, and I don't do anything complicated with my phone. I haven't kept up with the different changes since the iPhone 7 and here I am now starting fresh with trying to learn about what those changes entail and which iPhones and which updates work best and are most stable with voice over features. I would even go back to a slimmer 5S if they weren't being throttled and other things weren't happening, cited friends of mine have them, and the error messages they get our continual and frustrating for them since updating to iOS 11. Any words of encouragement here would be welcome. I'm hoping my six does not die on me anytime soon because I really don't feel like investing more money in this whole syndrome of the continual updating and new models of phones. By the way I have a lot of space left on my current phone, I don't let things build up and I get rid of stuff I don't need so that's not the issue. With the phones sluggishness especially in regard to dictation. But not limited to that It reminds me of my very first pair of sneakers, air Pegasus, which were shoes I could run in beautifully. By the time they need to replace is replacing and I went back to get my next pair of air Pegasus which I hope would be the same, nope no such thing existed any longer even though there was the same name on the shoe, and I've never found a pair sneakers that fit as well or that I ran as well and sense. Oh well. On with the race to the end of time Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
